Strategic IT Leadership
Tailored to your budget
Outsourcing ICT Leadership is not giving something away; it is taking control of a complicated and often misunderstood responsibility in a very cost effective way.
Why Engage?
Why you shouldn't recruit a Permanent IT Director/Manager.
Limited, Static Work Experience
By recruiting a full time individual, their experience of other organisation ceases to expand. Finding the right individual, with relevant experience often becomes a discussion around what aspects can you do without.
High Cost of Recruitment & Retention
Recruitment fees frequently run from 15% to 30%, meaning a £60k recruit can cost your organisation up to £18,000! By the time you realise they're not quite the right fit the process (and cost) starts again. Keeping a senior member of staff can be complex as well; training and development to ensure a high level of interest and fulfilment can also be costly and complicated.
Rigid Structure, Unscalable
Recruit one person, get one person. You are reliant upon their experience, advice and honesty. One perspective, one opinion and all your eggs in one basket.
Slow Speed of Deployment
Advertising, Interviewing, offering and extended notice periods for senior staff can take many months.
Why you should use Gridserve Strategic Leadership Services.
Constantly Evolving, Dynamic Work Experience
Rather than recruiting an individual, you recruit a team. Gridserve provides the relevant experience and time to fulfil the role. As we continue to work with other similar organisations, our experience is ever expanding, benefiting each of our customers.
Significantly Lower Initial and Ongoing Cost
No initial fees. No hidden costs. We agree the role between us, we suggest how many days per month you'll likely require the service, the costs are agreed on that basis. Simple.
Completely Scalable to Fit Your Needs
Whether you require our service for just a few days per month or full time, we can provide both and everything in between.
Deployment Within Hours, not Weeks
We can move as fast as you can. From initial discussion to a signed service agreement, measured in hours not months.
...so what's stopping you?
Throughout the build phase of our new site, Gridserve were in regular contact and were willing to meet face to face to have more of the major strategic discussions. What we found especially helpful was Gridserve acting as the liaison between the company who secured the capital IT budget and ourselves. This allowed us to ensure value for money and put in place a sensible timeline for the IT fit-out of the building, drawing on Gridserve’s experience.
